Break Out Pictures are delighted to announce the theatrical release of Eva Birthistle’s celebrated directorial film debut KATHLEEN IS HERE, coming to Omniplex Newry on 18 October 2024.
Kathleen (Hazel Doupe) is 18 and fresh out of foster care. She returns to her hometown to take ownership of her deceased mother's house. She gets a job and even a friend; but the emptiness of Kathleen's life cannot be filled by social media and reality shows. Alone and desperate for a mother figure, she sets out on a destructive path to find one. KATHLEEN IS HERE is a story about not fitting in and seeking meaning in life, when it feels like perhaps there is none.
Speaking on the upcoming release Director Eva Birthistle said “Kathleen is Here has been a labour of love for the last 10 years. Thanks to my amazing cast & crew seeing it come to life is genuinely a dream come true. All I wanted was for an audience to be able to watch it on a big screen so I’m beyond thrilled it will have its cinematic release in October.”
Starring Hazel Doupe, Clare Dunne, Peter Coonan, Aaron Monaghan and Liadán Dunlea. KATHLEEN IS HERE is written and directed by Eva Birthistle and produced by Claire McCaughley for Treasure Entertainment with backing from Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.
